July 2012

Overview

The fireworks don't stop in the July 2012 issue of S.W.A.T. with reviews of two rifles from SIG Sauer: the 716 Patrol Rifle and the tried and tested 551A1. A Remington 870 is given a Vang Comp makeover, and Goal Zero's Nomad 7 Solar Panel is put to the test in the wilderness to see if it holds up.

In other feature articles, Pat Rogers discusses why he switched to an M&P 9 for day-to-day carry, Fred Demara gives a thumbnail guide to edible wild plants in North America, and there are after-action class reviews of courses from Tom Givens, Spartan Tactical, and Mobius Training Solutions.

Ready To Rumble

Everybody holds the fruit in one hand, grabs the “pull tab” between thumb and forefinger of the other hand, and peels off the skin in segmented strips. They then bite off the meat in sections until they get to the bottom end, insert the entire mess of dangling peel strips and remaining fruit into their face, and squish the last bite into their cake hole.

Pick up any current gun magazine and you’ll be inundated with images of sexy black rifles. If you just fell off the proverbial turnip truck, it would quickly become apparent that the AR-15/M16 platform is the only weapon in the world that should be considered for serious tactical purposes.

Is there a word stronger than “hogwash” that will pass muster with the copy editor?
